We loved our stay, property is of a high standard, just about everything you need is there, shame the weather wasn't kind to us, would've loved to sit outside, loved hearing the cows & chickens, owners were helpful when we needed them, otherwise just left us to it, 15/20 walk to pubs, we will return at some point

The lovely hospitality touches of fresh cut daffodils, tea, coffee and milk being there on our arrival made us feel even more welcome. Loved the peace and tranquility of the farm, and havenât slept so well for a longtime. We would definitely recommend The Old Cowshed to friends, family and return ourselves one day.
